*smiled at my girl riding her vintage Schwinn.*helped the kids save a mouse from the cat... (though I am sure she will find him someday, and he will not be as lucky.)*successfully made my first hamburgers, and put them on the grill. (Grill cooking has always been my husband's area, but tonight I got recruited to help.)* bought a pretty summer dress, and if the weatherman is right I can wear it tomorrow!*talked about Magnolias with Matt (who has the best tree in town... soon to bloom.)*was thankful that the mailman was a friendly one today (seems like we have someone new everyday. And some take my armful of packages more eagerly than others.)*made plans to get my bike from storage tomorrow for weekend riding (won't you join me!)

Hi - this ia actually a response to an earlier post of yours looking for music. I thought, being a paris lover, you might appreciate FIP

Where you can listen to some brilliant music, and find out who plays it. its insanely eclectic, and they tend to bunch a genre together for about an hour at a time, so persevere. But also ITS FRENCH. So very French. And a sort of bohemian artsy french. We get it transmitted via the airwaves in Brighton - for some reason a fan of it, decided to boost the transmission received from France to a small area here. It has many fans. Me being one, obviously. But for some beautiful, girly music, there will be some gems. recently I discovered a band called First Aid Kit. And every day there is something.

I agree with the others that left comments...your day sounds lovely. I would love to go on a bike ride. I love it when the days are so warm and the soft wind blows at you as you ride. Sounds great doesn't it! Where did you get your daughters vintage Schwinn?xoxo-megfiddlesticksandfunnygirls.blogspot.com

I just took my bike for a spin today. So fantastic! I can't wait till it warms up here again so I can ride everyday. I am in total awe of your work. You have such a great eye for capturing the simple beauties of everyday life. take care, Karin
